I posted this not because it wasn't something we couldn't figure out ourselves, but because so many of us put off having bariatric surgery in the forlorn hope that we can fix this problem ourselves if we just try one more time, or because we still feel ok and are still functional, or because we aren't really sick yet, whatever. The reality is that damage is being done every day. Our bodies have reserves that keep us going until they don't. Meanwhile, our organs and joints are suffering, we just don't appreciate it...yet.
So, to anyone who is on the fence, still young enough to live a reasonably normal life but MO and with your comorbidities either under control or not yet apparent, I hope you will take seriously the damage being done and get whatever help you need before the damage is irreparable.
